. To' all 'ZLIIO'IIL/ili may concern.-

' Be it known that I, GEORGE T. F. OLARKE, a subject of. the King of Great-Britain, residing in the -city of Springfield, county of Hnmpden, and State of Massachusetts, have v invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display-Stands, of which the folexpensive to construct.

which are few in number Another object is to provide unimproved device of the class, described, the parts of and readilyformed without the use of elaborate dies.

- in the detailed the lower uncut edge of the opening.

- play device is not in use.

A further object is to provide an improved display device which is collapsible, when not in use, and which can be folded into a flat form convenient for shipping.

Other objects and advantages will appear description and annexed claims to follow.

In general, my device is formed from two cardboard members. The first or face'memher cmnprises a vertically arranged card-' board with two or more rectangular openings therein. by cutting along three sides of a rectangle which leaves a tab fold-able on the lower The second member comprises a foldable supporting piece which is secured to the face member. The second member is foldable into vertically disposed channels which area-rranged one at the rear of each opening in the face member. This supporting member is adapted to be folded fiat against the face member, when the dis It also adapted to be held in channel forming position by from the openings in the face member, along edges of the openings rearwarclly'mto the channels. Thus each rectangular poi'tion forms a closure for the bottom of its channel and the surplus of the tab not used for the closure is folded upwardly against therear wall of the'lchannel. By this arrangement convenient pockets are formed tions which lie These openings are formed' upwardly againstthe rear walls 7,

A. preferred form of my invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view looking at the front of my display device. Fig. 2 is a perspective view Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation taken on the. line 33 of Fig. 2.

Referring This face mem: her 1 is adapted to contain the usual lithographed advertisements relating to the articles displayed. The member 1 is provided with a series of rectangular openings 2 which are formed by cutting rectangular portions: in'the face member, along the lines 12, 13 and 14. The lower edge 15 of each rectangular opening is however, left uncut. Thus tabs equal in,size to the openings 2 are formed whiclfare foldable on the edges 15.

Secured to the rear of the face member 1 is a foldable supportingmember 16. The

The outer edge of each wall 7 is connected forwardly bentportions 6 to extension porparallel and are secured to the member 1. The inner or adjacent edge of :each wall 7 is similarly connected by integral forwardly bent portions 8 to acom- Iuon portion 9. secured to the face member 1 by any suitable means such as adhesive.

The rectangular portions cut from the openings 2, are adapted tobe folded rearwardly within thecha-nnels 7 formed by the by integral The p0rtions5 and 9 are supporting member-"16, as shown in Fig. 3.

It is to benoted particularly that when theportions 3.-4,hav e .been, folded into the channels formed by the rear supporting member, the'latter is positively portions-4- of the rectangular portions not used for the bottom closure brought l
